Movie Summary from Japan Foundation Theater: 

The Hill Top Hotel is the destination of all celebrated authors.  But the promising Kayoko, who cannot catch a break, knows it takes more than hard work; it also takes cunning to be a great writer.

Promising young writers Kayoko (Non) struggles to debut her work despite winning a literary award.  Criticism from the respected Higashijujo (TAKITOH Kenichi) has scuppered her literary dreams compelling her to visit the Hill Top Hotel, destination of all great writers, only to find Higashijujo in the room above!  With some help from her editor Endo (TANAKA Kei), Kayoko schemes to sabotage the critic, who is struggling to meet his own writing deadline, before their showdown takes an unexpected turn.  Based on the novel by YUZUKI Asako, known for the acclaimed novel BUTTER, will Kayoko finally make her writer's dream cone true?

This film depicts alcohol consumption and smoking.
